What to do if you have acne before your period

Menstruation is a basic characteristic of women. The normal cycle is about one month, but due to many reasons, many women have irregular menstruation. Irregular menstruation includes irregular menstruation, early or late menstruation, too little or too much menstrual flow, menstrual pain, etc. 40% of women will have a lot of acne on their faces when their menstruation is about to come or end, and it is difficult to remove.

What should I do if I get acne before my period?

1. Female friends should do basic medical care on a daily basis. They should not only ensure cleanliness but also hygiene, moisturize the skin more often, choose a suitable facial cleanser according to their skin type, and thoroughly clean the areas with severe oiliness to avoid clogging of hair follicles. Try not to stay up late during menstruation, otherwise it will cause endocrine imbalance and lead to acne.

2. During the menstrual period, you must be careful about your diet and try not to eat spicy food, irritating food, or raw or cold food, otherwise it will affect the condition of your skin and also affect your physical and mental health. Before and after the menstrual period, women's mood is very volatile, they are very upset, and they are prone to lose their temper. At this time, they must adjust their mood in time, maintain a stable emotional state, and don't put too much pressure on themselves, otherwise it will cause stress, and stress can also cause acne.

3. Women should eat more blood-replenishing, qi-replenishing and yin-nourishing foods before and after menstruation, such as dried longan, wolfberry, and jujube. They have good health care effects because they contain a lot of vitamins, nutrients, and carbohydrates needed by the body, and have the effect of regulating blood and qi.

What is the reason for acne around the menstrual period?

A few days before a woman's period, the estrogen level is very abundant, which increases the activity of the sebaceous glands, causing more sebaceous glands to secrete and cause acne. In addition, the oil content on the surface of the skin during menstruation is significantly different from that at normal times. The secretion of sebaceous glands is easily hindered to a certain extent, resulting in closed comedonal-like acne on the face during menstruation.

Under the influence of growth hormone, women's skin is very prone to skin allergies, rough skin, and plant oil metabolism will also increase a lot. In addition, during the menstrual period, women's temperament is very manic, unstable, restless, and always suffers from insomnia and irritability, which affects their daily life.
